The 2014 Nissan Leaf: before you buy
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2014 Nissan Leaf for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. Before buying the 2014 Nissan Leaf, read what the figures say and how to try one first.
Before you sign for the Leaf
NHTSA has 34 owner complaints on file, mostly about service brakes, electrical system and air bags. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.
Under the hood
It runs the electric motor, with front-wheel drive. It is fully electric: no gas at all, and you return it with the charge it had at pickup. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
Its rating is 18.6 kWh/100 km: about 56 kWh for 300 km. Rated range: 135 km. Winter and highway speeds bring it down. At our price setting, 1,000 km costs about $27.90. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$700 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
A good match for
It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy.
How big it is
It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. With 680 litres of luggage space by the EPA's measure, it takes bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
Drive it on your own roads
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer.
Choosing the right one
Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.
What it costs to run
Charging at home usually costs less than public fast charging. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $27.90 at our price setting. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.
